I love to hand sew the binding on anything, quilt, tablerunner, pot holder etc. I find it so relaxing and I get a little more time with the item before it goes on its way.
I always wait to work on them when I watch TV with DH in the evening, I am not big on watching TV, so I like to make my time productive.
I like your name "topper", I call myself "piecer" I have about 18 tops that need to be quilted. Working on saving up for a mid arm machine.
Great topic, thanks.
